“OUTWARD BOUND”
BY LITTLE THEATRE SOCIETY There is no doubt that “Outward Bound.” by Sutton Vane, is the author’s greatest play. The subject is an extremely delicate one, but he handles it with such skill, such earnestness, such charm, that not a line should offend the most Victorian of the supporters <4f the Little Theatre Society, when it is presented at the concert chamber on July 5,6, 7 and 9. His comedy is mixed up with moments of intense seriousness, but so sure is the hand of the author, so sincere and excellent his work, that nothing strange or inconsistent is apparent. There are many parts of the play where Sutton Vane climbs to great heights. His creations are real, they live, and are remembered long after the play has been seen. It is doubtful whether anything finer than “Outward Bound” has been presented to the play-going public for many years.
